But fine it is spin. What Flaherty is really up in arms about is that he had his little 5000 a year tax savings account which basically helps only those making enough money that they have maximized their 20,000 dollar contribution to RRSP's. Now there is another RRSP style tax saving that helps out the middle class. If you are making 60,000 dollars a year, work hard and play by the rules the Liberals are willing to give you a break. They know you have 2 kids who you would love to see be able to go to college. And they are willing to help you out with that endeavor.
How any party can be against a tax cut that will be used to better educate Canadians and thus have a better educated populace is beyond me.

Doesnt matter who has the minority goverment - the grits or the tories, if the opposition party tries to push their policy, than the minority goverment will squash it.
its just stupid politics.
liberals scream and cry about the some of the bills the tories push and instead of voting against it, they just dont show up, which basically saying otherwise, (if you want to spin it)....same would be true if the the grits where in power.
The conservatives want to push their policies, they are the ruling goverment, no different than if the NDP or the Libs were in power....
